When How I Met Your Mother star Jason Segel was asked about the identity of the mysterious “mother,” he had only one reply: Hillary Clinton.

However, in a shocking twist of events, Segel revealed that the Secretary of State and former First Lady will not be leaving her presidentially appointed position to join the cast of the CBS comedy.

While appearing on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, Segel revealed “I got a letter in the mail that said, ‘I appreciate your request, but I must say I’m very busy doing politics. But if the opportunity ever arises, I would be happy to do something together. [Signed] Hillary Clinton.’ ”

We breathlessly await the day Segel, Clinton and the Muppets collaborate. However, in the meantime, perhaps Segel should refocus his attention to the previous Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice.
